What is your weather cancellation policy?

Our policy is always safety first. We will have the captain assess the weather conditions and make the call based on safety.

For cancellations due to weather conditions, we will try every effort to get you rescheduled to enjoy your outing with Brightwild Adventures, however if rescheduling is not available for your stay, we will offer a credit for a future trip with us or issue a full refund.

Do I need to know how to swim?

Yes, please. While it is always highly recommended that you know how to swim when participating in water activities, the sandbar is shallow enough to stand so swimming is not required. We do also provide lifejackets for those that wish to wear one.
